"Need a relatively inexpensive MP3 Player that uses SD Memory?"

This is a question, and no, I don't.

You mean to say:

"Need a relatively inexpensive MP3 Player that uses SD Memory."



Canon SD100 series are nice cameras.

I've got an RCA Lyra that I like a lot.

$70 at Wally World for the 64mb unit

I got the 128mb version for Christmas.

At least you can admit it.

The best part is that you had just finished typing the phrase "MP3 Player" twice.

Thanks I took a look at it, unless I am wrong the product manual says the player only accepts SD memory up to 128mb...which kinda stinks, I have a 256 mb SD sitting around that I want to use

Any models that'll take a 512MB SD card?

if you read some user reviews of the rio s10 you'll see that as of revision 1.80 (firmware) it should accept 256 OR 500 meg cards. all the new players ship with 1.8 automatically, but it can be downloaded from their website if you need an update.

check out cnet.com's product reviews

also do a google search for "rio s10" and "reviews" you'll get a bunch

my buddy down the hall from me at work here has a 256 sd in his s10 and it works great

this should work here ?

although if you buy it new it should come with the newest firmware

I came across a review of the Eumax 4-in-1 128MB MP3 Player earlier today. It has a SD/MMC slot and costs ~$100.

 

[bockchow]

you could always sell the sd memory then just pick out whatever mp3 you like the best and not worry about what memory it uses. i saw like 5 posts in the fs/ft forum of people who wanted to buy sd memory.

Rio S30 sport model comes with armband along with fm tuner I bought this one from rioaudio.com for 100 bucks its now 77.84 with firmware upgrade it can hold up towards

The 64 MB internal memory is upgradeable to 576 MB using SDTM or MMCTM memory cards. Includes sport armband, belt-clip and has a built-in FM tuner, clock and stopwatch.

I love mine use it whenever possible during class and during boring moments at work I am looking for cheap SD Memory myself I might break down and go buy 256 from walmart or something

Best of all is this thing runs on one AAA battery lasts about two days for me just doing mp3s using radio eats alot more battery power however usually using the radio the battery lasts bout half the day

 

[LinuxIdiot]

Come on people I'm also thinking of getting another mp3 player :| suggestions!!!

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I'm happy w/ my RCA Lyra. I paid $90 for the player w/ 128MB internal, and $70 for a 256MB SD card. It works well.
